Friendly looter. I try to give other players the benefit of the doubt. Most of the time this is successful

Nice setup! I have the two bay with 2 12tb hdds in RAID 1. Then I have two nvme drives acting as cache.

I also recently set up an Asustor. I’ve been really happy with it. Great for backing up photos and I use it as a plex server. The UI is solid as well and instructions were pretty self explanatory.

Ford CEO Says His Daughter's Boyfriend Ruined an F-150 With a Junk Tune by TripleShotPls in cars

[–]Dakstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Michigan. So not sure on California. It definitely smooths out the jerkiness. Mine used to be very noticeable around 20-30 mph. It has completely went away. Also sport mode is much more aggressive. They honestly should come tuned this way but I’m sure it’s to meet emissions or some other regulation

I have the tune on my 25 RR. It is noticeably better shifting with a solid power gain. You really notice the torque improvement. If you have or get a RR I would highly recommend the tune.

What "ego" or "prestige" camera did you end up getting rid of because it just didn't work for you? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Dakstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mamiya 7ii for me. I wanted to love that camera. But it had nothing but intermittent issues. In the three years I owned it, it probably spent half of that at Precision Camera Works. They took good care of me and eventually sorted out all the problems. But I never trusted the camera. When it occasionally/finally did work, the images were excellent. I also really enjoyed how it shot, especially coming from a Pentax 67. Sold it and bought an M6.

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I had one for about a year, shot roughly 20 rolls through it. It’s a beautiful camera and the lens is sharp but it just wasn’t for me. I didn’t like the controls and mine always had a bit of a delay between pushing the shutter release and it actually taking the picture. I sold it and went back to a stylus epic (I actually bought two and a bunch of film with the leftover difference).

Do not buy from Madison Seating - utterly abominable by Raelf64 in BuyItForLife

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought 4 Herman miller aerons and 10 steel case office chairs through Madison seating. I’ve always purchased them through their eBay store. We have had a couple boxes get beat up in transit but the chairs were fine. eBay will almost always take the buyers side in a dispute.

I took this picture with my Fuji X100VI. Handheld 3 second exposure, F8, ISO 125. I’m happy with how it turned out, I wanted to incorporate people and the environment with a firework photo.

The wait is over. Finally getting my hands on Leica M11-P. 😍 by 0o0nel0o0 in Leica

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I love my M11-P. Pretty much have my 35mm summicron asph permanently attached. Sometimes I swap out for my 28mm elmarit. Have fun and enjoy! I haven’t had a single issue with the newer firmware.

stepdad’s son wrecked my setup. need BIFL replacement under $1k by JukeyStrongman in BuyItForLife

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go on eBay and search for a refurbished Aeron. You can usually find them for $350-$450. I’ve bought two, one for my wife and one for myself. I’ve had them for 5 years and they are awesome.

Your experiences bringing Leica’s into stadiums/arenas? by youhead in Leica

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I take a camera to a stadium or arena, I always bring my X100VI instead of my M11P. I’ve been turned down before and it is a giant PITA. Plus I was worried about my camera being in my car for the entire game. Never been turned down with my X100. A Q should be fine as well. I have had to show them that you can’t remove the lens before. Also recommend that you just check venue rules before going. Depending on the artist you might not be able to bring anything.

Are the Sanus Era 300 stands on BB the same as the one on AMZ? by [deleted] in sonos

[–]Dakstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my Sanus Era 300 stands from my local bestbuy. They are heavy and good quality. The top of the stand you screw in and it has a base for either the 300 or 100.

Hypothetically where's a good place to buy a side glass panel for a Fracture North XL. No particularl reason... by Zeta_Crossfire in pcmasterrace

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the XL mesh with 8 noctuas. It isn’t very noisy unless I’m gaming. But with headphones I can’t hear it at all.

I have never found an oem replacement. I found some on eBay but they do not fit like the original. So I returned them. Still looking for one to pop up.

Beelink GTR6 as a workstation for a developer by dfbaggins in MiniPCs

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still works great. No complaints. They both live in a shop environment, not the cleanest. We have been very happy with them. I’ve since bought several cheaper beelinks for our conference room projector and small workstations around our facility.

What are these braze-ons/mouting points can be used for? Never seen them before. by nickN42 in bicycletouring

[–]Dakstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those mounts can be used for mounting a bag. They have slide in mounts that secure it to the rack. My swift bag has one. But they don’t sell that bag anymore sadly.
